Abstract: The IEEE1394 bus communication protocol has three layers:
physical layer, link layer, and transaction layer. A link
layer IC implements the interface to an external application
and prepares data for sending on the bus, or interprets incoming
data packets from the IEEE1394 bus. A physical layer
IC implements the direct electrical connection to the bus
and controls many functions including arbitration for sending
data on the bus. According to the invention the capacity
of the on-chip memory becomes assigned in a flexible way in
order to be able to meet the requirements for any specific
service. Further, the on-chip memory is prevented from storing
data packets containing transmission errors by CRC
checking on the fly header data and other data. This is performed
for asynchronous data packets as well as isochronous
data packets, and allows to have a minimum on-chip memory
capacity only.

Abstract: Current measuring device which comprises a current sense resistor (2) for generating a voltage proportional to the current to be measured. The voltage is measured by a MOS transistor (4) having its gate terminal connected to a first terminal of the current sense resistor (2), and having its source terminal connected to a second terminal of the current sense resistor (2). The drain current of the MOS transistor (4) is coupled by means of current coupling means (5) to the source terminal of a further MOS transistor (10) having its gate and source terminals interconnected. The drain current of the MOS transistor (4) causes a voltage across the further MOS transistor (10) which is proportional to the current in the current sense resistor (2). This is however only the case if the voltage across the current sense resistor exceeds the threshold voltage of the MOS transistor (4). By introducing an offset source (6, 8) an output voltage which is proportional to the current to be measured, can be obtained for all current values as long the MOS transistor (4) is conducting.
